That effect is how PC5250 displays windows that do not have the (*CHAR '
') parameter set. If you remove that from your windows, you get the blue
lines. The *DSPATR parameter is honored, so you can get RI, HI, etc. I
assume that *COLOR would be honored—blue is the default.

So, do get the effect, use defaults when creating windows. Most especially,
do not use the *CHAR parameter.
